They’ve
been assembled but unpainted for far too long (probably bought Kat about 10
years ago by now) and it was about time they got some time on the painting
table, together with two Hasslefree-males that I still work on.

First
off is something I’ve been waiting to see for some time, a totally printable
game.

Here
everything is in electronic format; from rules and cards to miniatures.

For
your 3D-printer you’ll get different troop types for the human and orcs &
goblins factions and some buildings made by our friends at Printable Scenery (meaning
it will be great-looking). Also included are some useful accessories, like
card-trays and measuring tools.

This
looks really interesting as a new concept, and it will be fun to see where it
goes from here.

In
this campaign you have 11 different sets to be bough individually, as sets or
all-in. In total more than 500 different files.

They
use Infinitylock to connect the pieces. Seems to be a locking system of theirs and
doesn’t seem to be compatible with OpenLOCK, unfortunately. That might not be a
problem if you buy into this system as DungeonWorks seem to have so much stuff
in their range that it should satisfy most everyone.

Floors
are designed to be printed standing on end, which seem to be a very good idea
as you can print more at the same time.

3D-printable
terrain kickstarters seem to be popular, both among backers and producers. It’s
an ideal product really, as you as a customer don’t have to worry about shipping
or waiting for inefficient or plain incompetent mail-distributers, as everything
is digital, and you can print in most any scale you want. As a producer you can
sit anywhere on this globe and send your stl-files everywhere else with a click
on a button.

On
to what popped up this last week. A good batch of diverse kickstarters.

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
